Serious photographers learn the skills for using the Manual settings. They know when to use which F/stops, Shutter Speeds and ISOs. (The rest just trust luck.)
In only four hours you will learn when to use which f/stops,
shutter speeds and ISOs - and WHY. Guaranteed.

One wonderful way to relate to how your camera handles exposure is to think about how your EYES handle light.
Your RETINA is like the camera's sensor... it receives the light.
Your PUPIL is like the actual hole in the camera lens, the aperture, that light travels through to get to the RETINA.
Your IRIS is like the mechanical part of the lens that expands or contracts to let in more or less light through the PUPIL.
A camera lens aperture, acting like the IRIS of your EYE, affects the intensity or brightness of the light that strikes the sensor in the back of your camera (where film used to be).
Your EYELID is like your camera's shutter - it affects the length of time, or duration that the light will enter your EYE.
Likewise, the shutter in your camera determines how long the light may strike the sensor.
Together, the aperture and shutter determine the exact quantity of light that strikes the sensor.
But... they do more than merely affect exposure!
Apertures (F/Stops) and shutter speeds help us with creative things, too. Each has a different purpose.
We'll cover those as well.
Exposure Expose' is where these are all explained clearly and step-by-step.

The next Exposure Expose', where exposure is exposed so you can see it clearly, is on
Saturday, August 28th, 2010.
We'll go from noon to four.
Class size is limited to 5 new students for individualized attention.
Since all my 113, to-date, students initially had questions, it's best to contact me by phone. Click here for contact information. Not everyone would benefit from this class. I will let you know if you will or won't.
The price is only $75. This includes 4 hours of expert, individualized Instruction, loads of Q&A, a step-by-step 24 page illustrated Manual and several Hands-on Demos.
Bonus: Understanding and Reading HISTOGRAMS, those mysterious little graphs!

What You Get...
1. Learn how your meter thinks and how to out-think it. (It doesn't think the way you might think it thinks.)
2. Find out when to use which f/stops, shutter speeds and ISOs.
3. Expert instruction using object lessons and demos that make perfect sense.
4. A 24 page photo-illustrated manual to refer to later when your memory needs a nudge.
5. How to read, understand and use Histograms. This is a real bonus.
6. Where to focus to get the Depth of Field you want (and you thought this was only about exposure, didn't you?)
